Zheng Heng died, a very disgraceful death.

His body appeared on the bed of a family surnamed Chen in Dongcheng District. It is said that he was beaten to death for having an affair with someone else's wife.

The news reached the palace in the afternoon, and Chu Yu was sitting on the dragon chair in the Linde Hall, reading the memorial; when Qin Xisong brought several assistant ministers into the Linde Hall to tell him the news, Chu Yu still hugged his Zheng Aiqing. with great hopes.

So, he was stunned, he couldn't accept this fact!

"What did you say?" The wolf hair in Chu Yu's hand dropped heavily on the memorial.

"Master Zheng had an affair with someone and was hacked to death on the bed. Master Zheng's mansion was also set on fire by his enemies..." Feng Jiangen repeated what Qin Xisong said just now.

Chu Yu put down the wolf hair in his hand in a slump, completely disbelieving what he heard.

How could Mr. Zheng have an affair with someone? He has been working on investigating and dealing with the disaster funds for the past few days. He even wrote a cipher to himself yesterday, saying that he has made a new discovery. As long as the evidence is solid, the criminal will be brought to justice soon. To the law!

He must have been framed!

Qin Ailan has always been by Chu Yu's side, so when Qin Xisong and the others came in, he was also in this hall.

Hearing this news, he was far from Chu Yu's astonishment. Zheng Heng's ending was within his expectation.

Although he was a loyal minister, he was not considered a good minister. He did not know how to assess the situation and pushed the emperor to the point of conflict. Such a minister was not of much use to Chu Yu today.

"Zheng Heng is eager for quick success and quick profit, and his conduct is corrupt. Fornicating with others has constituted a serious crime. Although he is dead, his crimes have had a great impact and should be investigated according to law! I implore the emperor to cut off Zheng Heng's official status and demote him to a commoner. Great burial!" Qin Ailan said solemnly.

Although Qin Ailan had only been in the palace for a few days, and Chu Yu didn't communicate much with him, in Chu Yu's impression, Qin Ailan was extremely annoying, and her words and deeds revealed a kind of frivolity, which he had never seen before. Qin Ailan has such a serious and ruthless side.

This person... Chu Yu suddenly felt that he had never known Qin Ailan before, as if the smiling person who lived with him in Zhaoyang Palace these two days was just his own illusion.

Chu Yu was furious.

Mr. Zheng is already dead, these people still don't let him go, this Qin Ailan wants him to carry this unwarranted grievance and never rest in peace!

"Master Zheng was wronged! There is something wrong with this case, he can't do such a shameless thing! Someone framed him!" Chu Yu almost shouted.

This is the first time he has lost his composure!

He thought that the thief Qin Ailan was an upright opponent, unlike Qin Xisong and Feng Jiangen, who were shameless and lawless thieves, but today Chu Yu knew that he was very wrong——Qin Ailan didn't know right from wrong, and would not even be dead let go!

Mr. Zheng is dead, and he was implicated by him. He can't let Mr. Zheng be a ghost and still be wronged!

"Your Majesty, the state owns the law of the state. Since many ministers said just now that they saw Mr. Zheng lying on someone else's bed with their own eyes, they must not be dazzled. The facts and evidence are all in front of them. I implore the emperor not to blindly trust a person, and don't be afraid to face it. The facts before you!" Qin Ailan said solemnly.

Chu Yu clenched her fists in anger, her face turned pale, she stared at Qin Ailan angrily in disbelief.

Qin Ailan treated him like an emperor at all, and looked directly at Chu Yu, letting Chu Yu grit her teeth and look at her.

But the ministers in the palace were not aware of the entanglement between Young Master Qin and the young emperor.Originally, their goal was to kill Zheng Heng and teach this unruly young emperor a lesson.

Now that Zheng Heng is dead, they don't want to make such a scene so "unkind" and convict the dead.

But looking at it now, this Mr. Qin is very good, and he is even more ruthless than his father.

Qin Xisong didn't have much expression on his face, but just took a deep look at his youngest son.

Recently Qin Ailan entered the palace and did not stay by his side anymore, his character has become even more incomprehensible to him as a father.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became deadlocked.All the ministers looked at Qin Xisong one after another, Qin Xisong hesitated for a moment, and gave Feng Jiangen a compliment.

Feng Jiangen understood, "Your Majesty, the Son of Heaven commits the same crime as the common people when he breaks the law. What Young Master Qin said is true. His adultery has violated the punishment of our Daning Kingdom, and he should be punished according to the law."

As soon as Feng Jiangen said this, everyone knew the direction of the wind and immediately agreed.

Chu Yu was alone, and it was difficult to continue to fight against these powerful ministers, so he had to retreat.

Qin Xisong then "let" Chu Yu draw up an imperial decree, condemning Zheng Heng and completely demoting Zheng Heng to a commoner.

Chu Yu was furious, and walked out of Linde Hall with impatient strides.

Chu Yu left, but Qin Ailan did not rush to leave with him, but followed Qin Xisong and several auxiliary ministers.

The old foxes looked very winking, knowing that Qin and his son had something to say, they all left with an excuse, leaving Qin and his son behind.

"How is life in the palace recently?" Qin Xisong was not in a hurry to ask about today's affairs, but cared about Qin Ailan's daily life.

"It's okay. It's not as free as outside, but it's an eye-opener." Qin Ailan answered truthfully.

"I heard that you dealt with a few eunuchs from Shangshi Bureau, as well as the maids around the emperor?"

Qin Ailan said: "Those eunuchs didn't know the rules. They even gathered a crowd to gamble during the night, and they ignored my words. As for the maid next to the emperor, she took herself too seriously. I just used them to establish Check out your prestige, otherwise everyone here will think I'm easy to provoke. Dad shouldn't blame me for being reckless, right?"

Qin Ailan asked with a smile, Qin Xisong didn't have much doubts, but added another sentence: "Including offending the emperor just now?"

"It's not all. Just now I was just discussing the matter. Zheng Heng didn't know how to advance or retreat. Since he wanted to kill the chickens to make an example, why didn't his father do it more thoroughly?" Qin Ailan raised her eyebrows slightly, and answered watertightly.

Qin Xisong stared at Qin Ailan hesitantly, he was obviously the same person, why did he feel so strange to him?

However, Qin Xisong is happy to see Qin Ailan's changes, and his son should be like this!

"I'm very pleased that you can understand these principles. However, Lan'er, you must understand the words of relaxation and restraint. It may not be a good thing for you to show such sharpness when you first enter the official career. Now that I am here, you do these things." No one can touch you, but if one day I am gone, it may not be a good thing for you to be so radical. It is better to settle enemies than to end them. Although the director of Shangshi Bureau is not a big official, there are people behind him. You can fight quickly He cut his position, this is a bit too much. If you want to move in the future, you'd better tell your father, don't express yourself so quickly. "

Qin Ailan paused in her heart, looked at Qin Xisong pretending to be surprised, and then smiled humbly: "Father taught me the lesson, I was indeed too aggressive."

"Don't worry, father will give you what you want sooner or later, and father will pave the way for you. You just need to be a virtuous minister who doesn't know anything. In the future, Zheng Heng will appear again in the court." You don't have to stand up for the matter, and father has accepted the reputation of being a traitor and traitor in this life, but father doesn't want you to say injustice and disobedience in the future!" Qin Xisong's eyes flashed a trace of sadness and viciousness.

These rebellious and heartfelt words made Qin Ailan startled. In fact, Liu Xiaoping has always known that Qin Xisong loves this young son very much after coming here for so long, but he never thought that this treacherous minister who was despised by thousands of people wanted his son clean and innocent even though he was ashamed all over himself.

But his old man is like this, how can his son be clean?

Qin Ailan was in a complicated mood, she didn't speak for a while, and after a long silence, she said: "Father doesn't have to do this for me, I never thought about taking that position; we... can choose another way of life - to be a millionaire It's not bad to praise the virtuous officials."

Qin Xisong looked at Qin Ailan deeply, these words were too unlike what his son said.

Qin Ailan let Qin Xisong scrutinize her.

To be honest, when he said this, he couldn't help but secretly scolded himself for his hypocrisy. He was not a saint at all, and it was strange that such words came out of his mouth.

Qin Xisong looked at Qin Ailan for a while, but he couldn't find a flaw in the calm but familiar face in front of him.

After a while, Qin Xisong said: "Since Dad has chosen this path in his life, it is impossible to turn back. Lan'er, you are still too young to think about power too easily. If one day you understand that he can give you If you bring it well, you won’t say such childish things today again!”

Qin Ailan also knew that what she said just now hadn't passed through her brain, and the person in the center of power in front of her would definitely not change because of her few words.

However, for what purpose did I say such nonsensical words just now?

Could it be that he is still a loyal and patriotic young man in his subconscious mind?

Liu Xiaoping felt amused by his conclusion. His poor conscience was eaten by dogs 18 years ago. How could he be really loyal to the emperor?

Maybe it’s because he subconsciously considers himself a Chinese, so he doesn’t have that deep-rooted patriotic complex for this country. He just looks at the people and things that appear here from the perspective of a bystander, and it’s far from home and country. Righteousness.

Just, why did I do this?

Could it be to help that poor little emperor? !If the little white-eyed wolf grows up, he may be the first person he will kill. Is he guilty of helping that little bastard?

"Maybe I really don't understand..." Qin Ailan replied with ambiguous meaning.

Qin Xisong saw that there was a bit of self-mockery on his face, and he didn't think much about what happened to his sweetheart, "You are still young, after you have been in this palace for a few more years, you will understand what my father said today Talk."

After finishing speaking, Qin Xisong patted Qin Ailan on the shoulder, turned and left by himself.
